This is my geekiest thought about how the world would or could be if it were connected by rails – and if the mail system was run by underground complex tube systems. Cars would all be on trolley-type rail systems so no one would get in any car accidents. Also, each home would have a mailbox that was actually a tube (like they use at the bank drive-up area) so if you want to send a letter, you punch in the location or coordinates (address) and it zooms down underground through the complex tube system and arrives within minutes/hours to the destination (anywhere in the world). If you order something on Amazon.com, it would arrive within 24 hours through the underground tube system. People (mailmen) would lose their jobs, so they could work on operating or fixing the tube system!

When you see a sunset there is a lag from the time the light passes into your eye to the time your brain decides what it is seeing. This time is thought to be nearly instant, but it is not instant. Your senses, sense before your brain computes. Everything your brain computes has already happened. We define the present as now , but now has already happened.

What if our brains lagged more than a few microseconds ? If the lag is consistent for everyone , no one would notice. What if our brains lagged 24 hours ? If this was the case and I died right now- my brain wouldn’t know it until the next day- but I would be brain-dead now. So my brain would die 24 hours before my life ends and I would never see it coming.

What if our brains lagged until our deaths? Then everything we have done is complied and we realize it then. If this is the case we would have already done all of this.

The future as we realize it is actually the past…

We are all time traveling…

and all of us are already dead…
